23 Thoughts That Ran Through My Head During The First Day Of My Senior Year
Tim Gouw

In This Article:

I honestly can't believe that I'm a Senior in college! Not even high school, but college.

It seems like just yesterday I was moving in to my first dorm with my best friend (shoutout to Laura), ready to take on this new, exciting and slightly terrifying adventure.

It's been a crazy three years. After taking an entire year off of school and switching both my major and minor, I can't believe I'm at the end of my college career.

Today was the first day of my Senior year of college, and I'm both terrified and excited about what's ahead. Here are just a few of the many thoughts that went through my head on this big day:

1. "9 a.m.'s should be illegal"


Yuris Alhumaydy


2. "Do I really want to wear makeup today?"

3. "It's the first day; you'll have all semester to embrace your status as a potato. Just not today."


Kevin Laminto


4. "God I hope the Starbucks machine in the lobby got fixed, otherwise I'm gonna be Oscar the Grouch"


Roberto Nickson


5. "Don't trip on the stairs"

6. "Seriously, how did I deal with these hills for three years?"


What my route to class feels like Alexander Milo


7. "It's only the first day and my backpack weighs more than me!"

"It's like my back is pregnant...with quintuplets. Very expensive quintuplets."

8. "I'm a Senior; I should know where the Evans Complex is when a Freshman asks me for directions."

I'm gonna need one of these Aron


9. "I'm a Senior; I should not need to ask for help finding my room."

10. "Then again I look like a Freshman...in high school."

11. "If I have to pull my shorts down so my thighs stop sticking together one more time..."


Vanessa Serpas


12. *Checks syllabus for Senior-level Sociology course*

Wadi Lissa


13. *Nervous breakdown in 3...2...1... blast off*


Sydney Sims


14. "If nearly all of my classes are for Communication Studies, then why aren't they in the Communications building?"

15. "I really hope my thighs don't make a weird noise when I un-stick them from this chair to get up and introduce myself."


Update: they did. It sounded like a straight-up fartSpencer Dahl


16. "I have no fear of public speaking; why am I nervous about asking someone for directions?"

17. "Okay yeah, I got up way too early this morning, and now I'm too early to my first class. I already need a nap."


Alexander Possingham


18. "I hope nobody hits me with that ever-popular, 'How do you plan on making money with a Communications degree?' today"


Sharon McCutcheon


19. "How do I plan on making money, you ask? By minding my business, that's how."


MD Duran


20. "I am so thankful I have a friend in two of my classes."

21. "...I need how many textbooks for this one class?"


Sharon McCutcheon


22. "I'm probably the only Senior year who looks like they're literally 12."

23. "Okay, that's an exaggeration. I look 14."

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
